Claim a Team! - This is MY team!
Back Off.
Name:Claim your favorite sports team!
Website:The Claims List
About:Yikes!! It's another claims community... only better! Claim your favorite sports team!


RULES. Love them or hate them, you have to live by them.

01. You must be a member of the community to claim.

02. When you make a claim, post an entry to the community. This is so that everyone can see you staking your claims... when claiming, PLEASE include the league and the sport, if they are not a MAJOR team. This makes it a lot easier for the moderator to add your claim to the list... and less likely to want to bash your head in... errrrr.... ALSO, do NOT make a claim in the comments. It will be ignored. :X

Here is an example of a claim:
I would like to claim the football team, the Jacksonville Jaguars from the NFL.

There. Simple, cute and to the point.

Also, [info]markov55 or [info]hailofsparks will leave a comment noting that your claim has been added to the list.

03. PLEASE.

Read the claims list to make sure that the team you're claiming, hasn't already been claimed.


I cannot stress this rule enough. I know that you probably get giddy and excited with the thought of claiming your favourite team! This does not excuse you from not reading the rules, however. :)

04. If your journal is deleted, bam! Your team(s) is/are up for grabs.

05. No drama. This is all for fun... isn't it?

06. No begging for LJ codes here. This is not tolerated at all. If you have a claims or a sports community, feel free to advertise it here. However, you must have claims... lalala.

07. Claims may not exceed over THREE unless rewarded by moderator. This comes from making graphics for the community, layouts, website, etc.



What can I claim?
Any team from any sport in any league that has not already been claimed.
Remember, there's tons of teams out there- including but not limited to leagues such as: NFL Europe, ECHL, Southern League baseball, MLS, AFL, etc.
You can also claim defunct teams and teams that have moved on to other cities... (examples: Winnipeg Jets, Los Angeles Rams, Tallahassee Tiger Sharks, etc.)

How many can I claim?
Moderators get five claims.

All members get THREE claims.


PS. I'll give you more if you throw some suggestions/ideas/make graphics/icons/etc at me. ;)

Anything else? Just ask! [info]markov55 or [info]hailofsparks your friendly neighborhood moderators. :D

If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them my way. :)



Has your team already been claimed here? Then, check out [info]football_claims and [info]hockeyteamclaim and stake it there! :)
